I was copying my entire library to a 2 TB thumb drive. This has proven to be impossible.

It is formatted as FAT32 and the library is under a name 2016 Calibre Library.

It stopped after copying with the Error 0x80070052 (The directory or file cannot be created) when
+0.6

I want the thumb drive to be readable on as wide a variety of systems as possible but I also want the library to be accessible as a library, not just as a collection of files or a rar of it (if possible).

The error appeared after 41,385 folders and 43,641 files were copied to the "2016 Calibre Library" folder.

I am open to suggestions as to how to format the thumb drive to be able to put my entire library on it. Backing up a rar file and having to replace it would be painful. The thumb drive is VERY slow.
